Vincent Sandoval/WireImage Michelle Williams Speaks On Chad Johnson Engagement Michelle Williams is speaking out further on her Chad Johnson engagement. The “Chad Loves Michelle” star and her fiance sat down with Robin Roberts Friday to discuss a number of topics including her depression battle. According to Michelle while she was in a treatment facility for the illness, her fiance was understanding of her need to get help. She also added that after treatment she no longer labels people as “crazy.” “Michelle has a great perspective on it because the brain is an organ as well,” Johnson said. “If we have a kidney problem, we go get it checked, if we heart problem, we go get it checked. But when it comes to the brain for some reason we label people as crazy.” Williams chimed in, “When I was in the mental health facility, I didn’t see anybody that looked crazy. I didn’t see anybody strapped up, I didn’t see anybody doing crazy behavior. And literally since then, I watch my mouth. I don’t call people crazy anymore. Some people…they just need help.” She also added that Chad managed to love her “in sickness and in health” despite them not even being married. “I said ‘Babe, I will understand if you leave. I can go to bed at night knowing that you left because were praying for a wife but not a depressed one,’” Williams said. “But he showed me sickness and in health already before marriage.” Shoutout to Chad for sticking it out with Michelle, some other men would’ve left.

Dakota Meyer is holding nothing back when it comes to his ex-wife. Quite the extreme opposite, in fact. As Teen Mom OG viewers have seen clearly over the past few weeks, Meyer and Bristol Palin did not end their marriage on good terms several months back. Their relationship fell apart due to Meyer’s ongoing PTSD, which he has struggled with ever since losing nearly his entire military team during a battle in Afghanistan. It’s a tragic and very true story, but it’s been overshadowed of late by the ugly back-and-forth between Meyer and Palin. Just last week, for example, on the latest episode of Teen Mom, Bristol said she was heartbroken because Meyer ditched her son , Tripp, as soon as his romance with Palin was over. (Bristol has this son with ex-fiance Levi Johnston and shares two younger daughters with Meyer.) “He hasn’t reached out to Tripp and Tripp is crushed by it,” Bristol told a producer on air of Meyer. “It breaks my heart.” Is this really the case, however? Has Meyer not maintained a relationship with the nine-year, to whom he grew very close as a stepfather for years? No, Meyer said a couple days ago on his Instagram Story. “I never got the opportunity to [stay close to Tripp after my divorce,]” he explained. “I don’t have custody of Tripp. It’s hard enough for his own dad to get to see him!” That’s some strong, subtle shade right there. Added Meyer: “When you have a stepchild, you don’t get the rights to that stepchild when you get divorced. If they’re under 18 you have to go through their mother to get them.” Because, according to Meyer, Bristol has not let him actually see Tripp, Dakota says he hasn’t tried to reach out in other ways because he doesn’t want to essentially tease the child: “Am I supposed to call Tripp up and mess with his mind and then when Bristol’s pissed with me, she’s not going to let me see him? I’m not going to mess with him. “He’s had enough of that.” Meyer and Palin got divorced way back in February. The split is only relevant again because we’re watching it play out each week on Teen Mom OG. All this time later, how does Meyer feel about the break-up? Does he have any regrets? HECK NO! “When you get rid of the cancer in your life, you can go live,” Meyer said this week about the situation Yikes, right? Wow. Meyer has been very open about his depression and anxiety, both of which are related to his PTSD. But he says here that his mental health has improved significantly since he stopping seeing Bristol. “We talk about anxiety, do you know how many shots I’ve had to get in my neck [for anxiety] lately? None. “Since Bristol moved out of my house I haven’t had to get any shots in my neck. I haven’t had to take any Ketamine. I haven’t had to take any medication.” He has had to read about Palin calling him an evil liar , however. Still, he doesn’t regret marrying her only because he got his two kids out of the relationship. And also because Palin basically showed Meyer exactly what he does NOT want out of a partner. “Before Bristol I couldn’t have appreciated a good woman in my life… “But now, [after] being treated like shit by somebody, I understand what it’s like to be treated terrible and not have someone give a shitt about you and be stuck with them, and have to put up with that,” he said on Instagram. “I think it was a plan by God of working on me. I don’t think it was a mistake. “I think it was God using her to put me in a situation that sucked real bad and to be worked on.” Well… okay then! They do say the Lord works in mysterious ways, right? View Slideshow: Bristol Palin: Dakota Meyer Has Ditched My Son… and It Sucks!
(Photo By Raymond Boyd/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images) Michelle Williams Opens Up About Depression Battle Folks were shocked to find out that Michelle Williams had checked herself into a treatment facility for depression back in July. Now the former Destiny’s Child star is speaking out about her mental health and how dark things felt before she entered treatment. She told People Magazine , I thought I was over depression. I thought, ‘I’m good!’ I’ve got love, I’m working out. But I was so angry. The rage built up in me. I did not attempt suicide, but I was questioning [life]. Michelle added that she battled depression since she was a teen, but she started feeling the bout of hopelessness around the time she was rehearsing for Coachella with Beyonce and Kelly Rowland . The entire year we were rehearsing every day for hours. I was burying it, and before you knew it, I was looking up out of the pit like, ‘Oh my God.’ I was like ‘No, you better go [to the hospital].’ By the time I got there, I was stable. As for her relationship with fiancé Chad Johnshon , Michelle revealed that she broke off the engagement weeks after he popped the question, and pushed him to leave, adding: I would’ve understood [if he left]. He’s been praying for a wife. He didn’t pray for a depressed wife. But now the happy couple are back together and Michelle is feeling more stable than ever: People fall off the fitness wagon, people fall of the wellness wagon, but I can’t fall off the [therapy] wagon. I have to get healed to live this happy life. And it’s not just about marrying Chad. I finally found someone to do life with. Glad to see the songstress back in a good place.

While Ford survived, as she was wearing her seatbelt, she fractured her skull and has spent the last few months trying to recuperate. Over the weekend, the model, actress, and former video vixen gave fans an update on how she’s been doing . “I’m battling Depression,” she started out. “Crushing, malignant Depression. It was always there; it’s just been made a little worse because of the head trauma from the crash.” She also explained that she feels guilty because although she survived, she’s not always grateful. “There are days where simple tasks takes the effort of 40 men,” she said in the Instagram caption. “Mornings where I’m unhappy to wake and see the sun because it’s another day spent listlessly looking for solid meaning in life. The guilt I feel at having survived and not feeling constant gratitude is a heavy weight to bear. I’m trying to jump back into my life but it feels like there are two Me’s: Before and After the crash. And I barely know who Before Me is anymore.” She ended her note by urging her followers to check in on their “strongest friend” because “no one ever does.” Our hearts go out to Ford and we are keeping her health and peace of mind in our prayers.

It’s been one month since Demi Lovato suffered an overdose that left her hospitalized and very nearly claimed her life. Needless to say, it’s been a sad and scary time for Demi, her loved ones, and her legion of fans. Fortunately, the millions who have expressed concern on social media can begin to breathe a sigh of relief. Demi is far from out of the woods, but those closest to the singer say she’s fully committed herself to the hard work of recovery. “Demi is cooperating and doing what they tell her to do,” a source close to the singer tells Radar Online. The insider adds that as part of her treatment Demi has ended friendships with several people who served as negative influences in her life. “In addition, she has cut out pretty much everyone except for her immediate family and [her ex-boyfriend] Wilmer Valderrama right now,” the source says. Yes, while Demi reportedly doesn’t blame anyone else for her relapse, it seems that for the time being, she feels it’s best to steer clear of some of her hard-partying friends. While fans have blamed the overdose on Dani Vitale – Lovato’s longtime friend and backup dancer — the singer has come to terms with the fact that her addictions stem from deeper issues within her own psyche. And it’s for that reason that Demi is dividing her time between a treatment center in Arizona and a psychiatric hospital in Chicago. “She is still going back and forth to Chicago with her mom,” says the source. “Demi is not depending only on drug rehabilitation because she really believes that her problems stem from her need to self-medicate her depression with drugs and alcohol.” Thankfully, she’s got the right people in her corner these days. “Everyone that knows her family is incredibly supportive and just want her to get well,” says the source. We wish Demi all the best in her continued recovery. View Slideshow: Demi Lovato: Everything We Know About Her Overdose So Far

(Photo by Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic) Keri Hilson Speaks On Depression After already tearfully speaking on her musical hiatus that was caused by “hitting rock bottom” , Keri Hilson is speaking on her depression battle. The songstress recently spoke on the mental health issue that she said was sparked by “personal and professional mistakes” (that Beyoncé diss?) and a breakup of an 11-year relationship. “When ‘Pretty Girl Rock’ was at the top of the charts, I was bearing the weight of some personal and professional mistakes and they just weighed so so so heavy on my spirit, and I was just not myself,” said Keri at the Silence The Shame Panel according to XoNecole. Although I was at the mountain of my life, really the trajectory of my dream – I was at the pinnacle, you know? I was severely unhappy and then add to that, this is when I decide to jump out of an eleven-year relationship. Bad decision, bad timing,” Keri added. “But it all just kind of spiraled for me, and became something I had never been through. I had never recognized myself as a person who can’t pick themselves back up. I mean, I was literally on stage crying.” Prince Williams/ATLPics.net Keri also added that stories and headlines in the media greatly affected her because of “attacks on her character.” “You don’t know where a person is, it’s not just about what you are feeding your audience, but what you are doing to the creators. There are a lot of undeserving people that are being attacked by just a headline,” Keri shared. “You don’t understand some of the worst days of my life were from a lie. An attack on my character. And I am an amazing person. I do say that because I’ve done the work to become that and all I ever wanted to be was just a great human being.” Keri now says she’s not “all the way clear” but in the “clear.” We’re so glad you’re feeling better Ms. Keri Baby and we can’t wait to hear new music. Shoutout to Shanti Das and Silence The Shame for sparking this conversation. Continue reading →
